How to remove an FPGA VI from flash memory?

[miguel23]

I've downloaded a Bitfile to flash memory however vi not working properly it doesn't communicate with Host vi all the time only periodically. Was wondering if I could remove that vi?

miguel23 hello!

I hope you are well. There is no actual utility in LabVIEW to erase a bitfile from the FPGA Flash memory. One workaround is to compile an empty VI and this will erase the current bitfile on the Flash memory.
Whenever you compile a new VI and download to the FPGA target, the newly generated bitfile replaces whatever current bitfile you have on the FPGA.

Please check out both these links in reference to having your LabVIEW FPGA application communicate with your Host Program.
